Thanks to everyone who bought a copy of my book! For everyone who didn't, it's now on sale at Amazon! Who says procrastination doesn't pay? While you're there, please drop a review so they recommend it to strangers. 🙂
The Recruiter: A Rick Carter Novel a.co/d/20eA7k9
I have never seen a team flip flop between looking like they can beat anyone to looking like they've never played baseball before in their lives like the #Phillies have over the last 5 years. It's unreal and it happens EVERY SEASON.

A reader I connected with through social media named my novel, THE RECRUITER, when a friend asked for book recommendations to send to another friend who's currently doing some time, which led to the best review I've ever received. I wonder how many packs of smokes it's worth? 🤔

If your local bookstore is sold out of THE RECRUITER, these beauties just dropped in The Czech Republic. So, learn how to speak Czech, hop a flight, and grab a copy. I hear Prague is lovely this time of year.

Proof that good things happen to good people. Cannot pre-order this one fast enough!
Turns out getting a novel published a novel is WAY harder than I thought. But not impossible :)
THE KILLING YARDS, chronicling a war to control NYC’s hottest nightclub, coming THIS SEPTEMBER from Crooked Lane Books. Huge thanks to @alecdshane and the team at @crookedlanebks for believing in a gritty, 1990s-set noir, and every writer who offered me their words, wisdom, encouragement, advice, and guidance. I owe you all more than you’ll ever know. Most of all, thanks to @allisoncolejewelry for letting me bang on publishing’s door for seven years and never once asking if maybe I should just give up already.
Pre-orders are live. The beat drops 9/22/26.

Any book that shares a title with a Springsteen song is automatically on my TBR list. Helps that @henrywise05 is a helluva talented writer, too.

My novel Hard Town comes out in paperback tomorrow. My understanding of the book business is that this new format will be both cheaper and lighter than the hardcover.

Fellow veteran @TR_Hendricks takes The Dossier to a new level of crazy both on the podcast with @bitsofnonsense and in print.
Afterall, he still has the most entertaining Dossier EVER

Thanks for the shout-out @elliottmarke1, I hope you enjoy it! And @Jeff_Circle is the man!
Had so much fun at Bouchercon ‘25. The highlight had to be helping @Jeff_Circle with his panel on marketing, oh and scoring an autographed copy of #TheRecruiter by @bitsofnonsense via Jeff!!!
I'd like to thank @Jeff_Circle for posting the graphic that shows my book in the same Best Of list as the award-winning instaclassic by @henrywise05, immediately making me cooler by association.
Your Monday commute will be waiting for you with Henry Wise and Joe Brosnan in a special two-guest episode. @henrywise05 and @joebrosnan_

One year ago, me and @BlackstoneAudio did a thing. 🙂
🗓️ Today marks the ONE YEAR book birthday for the @CrimeReads, @cullmantimes1, & @BookTrib top pick #THERECRUITER by @bitsofnonsense!🥳📕🎂
To celebrate, we’re sharing a highlight reel of top bookish praise + soundshare from #JamieRenell!

To be fair, the house also had a great party basement, which helped to distract from the mashed potatoes.
In which the always engaging @Jeff_Circle and Gregg Podolski @bitsofnonsense talk with me about book stuff but mostly about the house Gregg lived in his junior year of college, a bleak, mashed potato-encrusted hellhole where the living envied the dead.

Was on a ThrillerFest panel yesterday about writing realistic fight scenes. One of my fellow panelists, Carla Hoch, stole the show. I was taking notes as she spoke. She rules. Check out her books on the subject. I know I will.

#Thrillerfest2025
Last year, I sat in the audience and watched other authors give their one-minute speech at the Debut Author Breakfast, easily the coolest thing ITW does at their annual #Thrillerfest conference in NYC. This year, it was my turn.

Should @TR_Hendricks and @bitsofnonsense take their content to children or not?
